Sudan faces acute food crisis as war disrupts aid and access

The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises warns that millions in Sudan are facing acute food shortages after three years of war. Sieges by the Rapid Support Forces have severely disrupted food access and aid delivery, prompting famine declarations in parts of Darfur and South Kordofan last year. Nearly 25 million people, about half the population, now face crisis-level hunger, including 4.2 million children under five.
Civilians who fled to Khartoum describe severe scarcity, soaring prices and limited humanitarian assistance, while aid organisations report funding cuts and warn the number of people in need may rise again. Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan reports from Khartoum, Sudan.
